Google’s Pop-Up Donut Shop is serving fried bits of heaven Saturday and Sunday
Why: The early bird gets the donut this weekend as Google has built a pop-up donut shop to celebrate the launch of the new donut-sized Google Home Mini. Get there early – line access will be cut early toward closing time. Inside the pop-up, you’ll have the chance to win either a brand new Google Home Mini or donuts – one of the truest win/wins we’ve seen in awhile. // 10 AM — 5 PM, Hayes Valley, 432 Octavia Boulevard *Thanks Terence H. for the tip!
